DR BR230 003-6 Electric Locomotive IV

In the 1980s, the DR purchased electric dual-system locomotives to simplify the constantly growing traffic and operational processes in cross-border traffic between the GDR and Czechoslovakia. Due to the lack of experience in the field of dual-system technology (GDR: alternating current 15 kV/16? Hz, CSSR: direct current 3 kV) and the full capacity of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the machines were based on the CSD series ES 499.1 and 499.2. However, the Skoda locomotive factory had not yet built a machine for the AC system 15 kV/16? Hz, so the parts of the alternating current section were supplied from the GDR. Due to the needs of the CSD, Skoda received a double order with 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR.
